Save the Date - Golf Outing - June 1, 2024

Join us for the 4th Annual Golf Outing held by the St. Cecilia Sports Committee, memorializing the late pastor of St. Cecilia Parish, Fr. Mario J. Tizziani. Proceeds will help fund noise control solutions for the gymnasium by placing acoustic panels on the walls. These gym acoustic panels are the ideal solution for soundproofing our gymnasium. After hosting our first official school league in 2023 in our gym, we found that the sound in our gym echoes as it ricochets off the hardwood floors, concrete walls, and open ceilings. These panels are the best acoustic panels for gymnasiums, built to last, and a great investment! Sponsorship opportunities are available!

St. Cecilia is hosting the Diocese 5th Grade Boys Basketball League this year. This is a huge undertaking that requires lots of volunteers to make it successful. Please plan to work a shift, or two, or three! Money made from hosting this event will financially benefit the school and our student athletes.

Why does the Sports Committee ask for volunteers to run the volleyball and basketball leagues?

THIS is why... Not only does half of the league profits go directly to the school, but the other half allows the Sports Committee to do fun things like this for our teachers and students. We asked each teacher their recess equipment wish list and we delivered soccer balls, hula hoops, volleyballs, kickballs, jump ropes and more. We hope all the students enjoy the new gear!

PLEASE NOTE: The current dress code does permit apparel from the sports committee spiritwear shop. The dress code was approved prior to the new line of apparel being offered. At this time, we will honor the current dress code for the 2023-2024 school year. We will move to wearing the official school crest only for the following year. Additional spirtwear days will be added to the calendar for students to showcase all things St. Cecilia.

(Items permitted: Crewneck Sweatshirts, 3/4 Zip, Fleece, and Sweaters - NO HOODIES!)
